Since taking office in January, Trump's net worth has increased by nearly $3 billion thanks to his family-branded cryptocurrencies being purchased by foreign governments and businesses. He accepted a Boeing 747 as a "gift" from the government of Qatar, and has issued pardons to people who paid $1 million to attend a fundraiser dinner. David French explains why the Constitution's prohibition against foreign gifts is being ignored, and why Trump's shameless corruption has been met with silence by journalists and politicians. French and Skye Jethani also discuss why Trump's evangelical supporters don't care about his corruption, and how celebrity pastors and the Prosperity Gospel prepared them to accept the President's behavior as acceptable. Then, they discuss the case before the Supreme Court seeking to allow religious charter schools to receive public funding. French and Jethani examine the pros and cons of school choice and why Christians may want to reconsider accepting tax dollars for religious education.
